i have read about plastic "crackers" for emptying whippets bulbs into balloons in reports b4.. I was wondering if these can be found anywhere in Melbourne?
any info would be much appreciated.. :)
 
Not sure about the plastic cracker, but I know the bulberators (bulberators, canisters etc) are quite readily available from any kitchen specialists. A top of the line ones goes for about $70+
Or hunt around in 2nd hand shops. You can get dodgy ones for about $5 - $15.
Have a look down Chapel St, there are lots of those little stores down there

Aah, those little hand held NOSsilators...
I've seen 2 people with them before. Will have to ask where they get them from next time I see them. Pity I'm in Adelaide though. Wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to get them in Melbourne...

Affectionately, we like to call them "Nang Crackers", and they are available over the internet. A friend of mine ordered about 5 (for herself and mates) and showed me hers when it arrived. (We are in Perth, Western Australia)
They are small & made out of metal, shaped a bit like the connector of a garden hose (that plugs the hose to the tap), but with a holster for the charger.
They couldn't possibly be made out of plastic - they have a strong metal pin in the centre for piercing the cream charger! (Just like a cream whipper machine)
Basically you put a balloon over one end, load the charger into the holster, twist and hold tight!!! Cos the initial burst of gas is really fast and really strong and we've watched balloons fly off and waste a whole charger of gas

It takes about 60 to 90 seconds before all the gas empties from the charger and the balloon is ready to breathe from.
I'll try and track down the website that she ordered her "nang cracker" from. We found them to be especially handy to keep in the glovebox of the car!
Although, in line with my given title of Apprentice High Priestess of Nang (or, more lovingly, Trainee Nang Bitch), I like to take my 1 litre silver beast out with me and have even managed to sneak it into a rave inside a large black bag!

Shell out the cash and get a bulberator. Second hand stores and op shops will have them in regular supply for around 1/5 the price. Crackers are a lot of trouble/hassle and are more dangerous, you are handling compressed gas remember.
 
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE *DON'T* buy a secondhand whipped cream dispenser.
- The old "o-ring" seals probably need replacing and you run the risk of a seal coming undone whilst you have high pressure gas inside the dispenser. Since 1999, all iSi-approved cream dispensers are fitted with internal rubber seals, safer and longer-lasting than the old "o-rings".
- Unless you can un-weld all the pieces to wash it in bleach, or if you know that the person who had it before you took it apart regularly to disinfect it (as all hygienic machine-owners ought to do?), it has probably been (and may still be) growing mould, bacteria and other assorted tasties both inside the body of the dispenser and the mouthpiece. Especially if it has been sitting on the shelf of an op-shop or in someone's garage or kitchen for years.
- Old dispensers can have blunt or damaged piercing pins. The danger in this is that the pin may not pierce the charger accurately enough to cause the "end" of the charger to fold back inside itself. In my experience, a friend loaded a charger into a second-hand machine and we were lucky enough to notice a faint tinkly rattling noise inside the machine before he took a breath. If he had taken that first breath, it is entirely possible that the piece of metal [the "seal" from the charger] could have shot straight into his mouth and caused some serious harm. That machine was removed from use straight away! Although I must admit, they don't make them look like they used to! That dodgy machine was a real stunner - electric blue with sparkles, and shaped like a football-with-the-ends-cut-off.
My apologies for sounding preachy .. I'll get off my little soapbox now ..

daymn Miss Flea! I thought I was the only female seriously feindish "nang feind" over here in the west! We should hook up some time...in fact if you sell glow sticks I've probably talked to you before. Are you a Stuyvie chick?
She's right about the o-ring...and the germs, mould etc that may be growing inside. Splash out and buy yourself a new iSi 'nang machine' from your local kitchen supply place out in an industrial area somwhere. The big wholesale places are cheaper than a small shop in a busy shopping district. I paid $46 for mine...4 or 5 years ago so I wouldn't have a clue how much they cost now. Mind you, the new iSi machines are not as big as the ones from a few years ago, I'm not even sure if they hold 2 full nangs...(?).
I have a friend with one of those 'cracker' things you mention, don't know where he got it from but it wasn't off the net, it was in a shop somewhere...ie you should be able to find one in a shop rather than having to go on the net. He had hooked his up with a length of PVC (I think?) tubing (you know the soft solid stuff) and he would carry it around a party with him, the cracker in his pocket, the tubing running up through his shirt and then the tubing would be hooked up to a good gas mask....simple really! It was farking funny watching him on the dance floor
biggrin.gif

good luck with the cracker thing...though I recommend you buy a nang machine (iSi one), it's worth it in the long run

WOW Miss Flea: Massive props to you! That was a great post!
mac n nick take note: I'm neva using that dirty bitch-ass thing eva again

Just make a bulberator, there dam easy to make, just a few gas fittings, tubes and a big balloon.. all those who were at the blue volvo of love at kryal would have seen the art work that is My home made bulberator.. WOrks better the the 70+ dollar ones, because its designed and made for BREATHING the stuff in, rather than whiping cream.. I have a photo for everyone, but im stil finishing the film... will be up soon.

Sorry Chemical_Night, but no, don't just go out and make one people!
If you don't know what you're doing you could end up with a faulty piece of equipment which could lead to serious injuries...
After seeing and using Chemical_night's one I know that it can be done, and safely... However not everyone could just go out and put together something like that easily so its not a good idea to give people the idea they can...
 
Many thanks and acknowledgements to Mr_Horse and Boops for supporting my ramblings!

The large silver steel iSi whipped cream dispensers have a capacity of one litre. This is as big as they get! You'll find them in "kitchenware" type shops, or large catering supply stores (look up CATERING EQUIPMENT - SUPPLIES &/OR SERVICE in the Yellow Pages). Here in Perth, they retail for $90 but be firm with the retailer and you can probably get 10% off!
Smaller 0.5 litre dispensers are also available, with either a steel or plastic body. [The all-white plastic ones resemble a bunny when viewed from the side?! perhaps with an over-active imagination!]
They retail at around $40 to $60. These are much lighter and easier to cart around!
My two cents on charging the machines with gas ..
Basically these cream whippers were only designed to hold ONE charger at a time. Obviously they are *able* to hold more, but I believe you run the risk of reducing the lifespan of your machine (by putting extra pressure on the seals) and increasing the chances of an explosion, should anything ever go awry!
As a result, I personally don't like more than one charger loaded at a time.
But that's just mee!

make sure you give the machine time to heat up a bit after each nang too. if you do too many in a row, the canister charger big can stick to the valve and unscrew the whole valve from the bottle.. its happened twice to my mates one, gotta keep gettin the spanner out to fix it and its a pain in the arse :/
anyways.. goin to FAL cash n carry tommorrow.. mmmmmmm wholesale nang

Dam guys those pupies are such a wasteof time.. I think me and my mate will have to start producng the home made bulberators for sale to B/L. its pretty much fail safe. and can hold 10 bulbs know problem. (and doesn't freeze over at all... (we went through 250 bulbs at kryal in no time!)
What you think guys?.. hmmmm I wonder if this is going to be deemed as "bad by the admins..".. off coarse they will come with a disclaimer..

For all those who missed out, the bulberator just *might* make an appearance at Cage sat night, in the car park off coarse.
 
ive made a few homemade bulbavators in my time. the first consisted of an emty shot gun cartrage, a nail and a bit of tape. you had to put a ballon over the end and wack it down real hard on the floor. last time i used it, it depresserisd extreamly fast, sending the bulb flying straight up past my head and lodgeing itself firmly in the plaster ceiling.
My s/h $15 syphon works fine now and bother with anything else.
